β¦ Synopsis
Since the discovery of age-hardening phenotnenon in aluminium alloys iiiany works have been carried out to elucidate inechanism of the precipitation processes and i t has been shown that the clustering of solute atoms on the matrix lattice or formation of the G.P. zones is the most important process in the age-hardening. Based on X-ray analysis and trarismission electron microscopy, it has been shown that the precipitation process in a supersaturated solid solution of A1-1.7 at.% Cu alloy is solid solution -+ G.1'. (I) zones --+ G.1'. ( ) zonest intermediate precipitate 8' --+ equilibrium precipitate 8. However, concerning detailed atoiriic arrangement in the G.P. zones, shape of the zones

of the equilibrium a and y mixtures produced by long annealing at 400Β°C. It can be seen that the peaks resulting from the mergers in the tempered martensite pattern have roughly the same angular position as those in the pattern from cold-worked filings; i.e. peaks 3 and 4 approach the position of th
